I sure hit null against bitter  When Barack Obama talked about the "bitter people" at the San Francisco brie and white wine event, he fatally wounded the small chance that he had to become president.I certainly have nothing against bitter people, I tend to think if a person is not somewhat bitter then they are seriously misinformed about the state of the country. Almost everyone has something to be bitter about these days, whether they are black, white, male, female, rich, poor, gay or straight.  But politically, the most important bitter people are the Angry White Men. Angry White Men come from all economic strata, some are filthy rich and others dirt poor—but they do not believe in class. One common characteristic, besides being communicants of the NFL as the national religion, is they have an unabiding faith in the Horatio Alger myth, that in America anyone can make it so long as they have sufficient gonads. And if they don't make it—then it is the fault of the government, women, homosexuals, elites, rappers, affirmative action, NAFTA, activist judges, outsourcing, corporate board rooms or illegal immigrants.One way to make any Angry White Man gag is to use words like “disenfranchise” or “marginalize.” Sissy talk.  Although they come in all political stripes, most Angry White Men these days tend to vote Republican. In fact in the Democratic Party, white men, angry or not, are a minority group.The phenomena of Angry White Men became an important factor in national elections in 1994— and the Revenge of the White Guys--when Republicans took control of Congress.  In 2000 one of their own took control of the White House. And testosterone has been the word of the day ever since. If any Angry White Men had any doubts in the 2004 election, they were dispelled when Professor Kerry went wind surfing. Perhaps it is because Angry White Man or not, George Bush turned out to be a retard, but these white men are still angry.So what is it the Angry White Men would like now? I think the answer is Lou Dobbs. Lou is the Angry White Man's answer to McClintobama.  Lou has come a long ways from the days when he was the spokesmen for, and golfing partner of, Wall Street's financial elite and an outer space cowboy. He is now the self-proclaimed embodiment of America's besieged middle class. He wages an unyielding battle against “corporate imperialism” and illegal immigration. El Duce Dobbs would start to restore our national pride and sovereignty by immediately transporting all illegal immigrants out of the country, build a big wall on the border, end outsourcing, cancel NAFTA and all other trade agreements. Lou would then bear down harshly on the corporations, and ensure they are answerable to the middle class (which all Angry White Men consider themselves members of--regardless of income)--- as well as start giving white men a fair shake. There is really no one like Dobbs on the national scene. His populism is reminiscent of William Jennings Bryant, who railed against the trusts and monopolies—as well as the teaching of evolution. It is ironic that the old business reporter, like Bryant (as well as Mussolini and Hitler), really finds economics to be secondary to the reestablishment of values through National Sovereignty. He is an advocate for a new American Nationalism—achieved through the economic, political and social empowerment of Angry White Men. Though he does need to do something about that daughter of his. Economically, Dobbs despises free traders and laizzes faire capitalism. He advocates an America, free of foreigners, the whining of minority groups, screechy women, metrosexuals, Hollywood tarts and walled off from the rest of the planet. Behind the Great Wall of American Protectionism, prosperity and high wages will be the norm, once the robber barons are reined in by the Politburo of Angry White Men, we are purged of the impractical ideals of insidious libertarianism (both economic and civil), and corporations are forced to be responsible and use common sense so that every Angry White Man is playing on a level field, and treated with the respect he deserves.Although there is a movement to draft Lou Dobbs, I guess it is not going anywhere. But until Dobbs is in the White House, Angry White Men are going to stay angry.   |
